Hi All,
I am trying to parse some information from website, say, a linkedin page.
The linkedin url was
url = "http://www.linkedin.com/in/huidu";
I had no problem to use readLines and XML package to collect the
information I need. However, that url became "
https://www.linkedin.com/in/huidu"; now.
url = "https://www.linkedin.com/in/huidu";
It failed readLines function.
readLines(url)
Error in file(con, "r") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(con, "r") : unsupported URL scheme
Do you know any way to read-in web information if the url is https? Thanks
a lot.
Try R-devel, soon to become R 3.2.0. That has support for this on
platforms where libcurl is installed (which should be possible almost
everywhere).
You did not give the 'at a minimum' information required by the posting
guide. This has long been possible on Windows with --internet2.
